Yeah the whole ST is great but you're right, the world map themes in particular drip with the theme of the era.

FF8 also has an excellent over world theme. Love that dwing dwing sound

I'll never put down CT, but thanks to the pixel remasters I discovered how great the FF3 overworld theme is, really sounds like you are setting off on an adventure.

While I wouldn't say its the best overworld theme I've heard, FFIV's overworld theme is definitely the one that hits me in the nolstalgia the most:

As far as Chrono Trigger goes, I really like the 65m BC overworld theme - it's simple but catchy and 'innocent' in regards to the game's plot. Like you could just go back and live in that time happily

FF12 is a dogshit game, with one of the weakest soundtracks to boot.
